Chapter 4 And 5 Flashcards
A disc of transparent glass generally bounded by two spherical surfaces capable of transforming an image.
Lens
The eye of the camera is also the heart of the camera.
Lens
A piece of transparent material made of glass or plastic with 2 opposite
Lens
composed of 1 lens
Simple Lenses
A lens that is thicker at the middle than at the edge.
✓ It gathers light rays and refracts them to meet in a certain point.
Convex Lens
is thicker at the edges than at the center; light rays passing through a
diverging lens are vent outward.
Concave Lens
t consists of two or more simple lenses fitted together.
✓ Simple lenses generally produce aberrated (imperfect) images which can be corrected using compound lenses .
Compound Lenses
largest opening of the diaphragm that the light can pass
through.
Lens Speed
A lens with larger maximum aperture (that is, a smaller f-number) is a fast lens
because it delivers more light intensity to the focal plane, allowing a faster
Fast Lens
A smaller maximum aperture (larger maximum f – number) is slow lens because
it delivers less light intensity and requires a slower shutter speed. (e.g. f3.5, f5.6)
Slow Lens
This refers to the size of the image produced by lens depend upon factors – camera – to – subject and focal length. The lens collects the rays reflection from each point and brings them into focus at the focal plane
Image Size
This refers to good lenses that are capable of reproducing circles of confusion much smaller than 1/1000 of an inch. This permits the focal plane to be moved forward or backward form the plane of critical focus to the point where the circles reach 1/1000 inch in diameter and the image begins to blur. This allowable movement of the focal plane is called depth distance.
Depth of Focus
This refers to the lens that is focused on an object at infinity, the distance from the lens to the nearest object in sharp focus is called
Hyperfocal Distance
This refers to the distance from the optical center of the lens to the focal plane, when the lens is focused on infinity.
Focal Plane
This refers to the distance so far away that rays are considered parallel when they reach the camera.
To find the lens speed divides the diameter of the lens into the focal length.
Infinity
This refers to the point where diverging rays would meet if their directions were reversed.
Virtual Focus
